How to make

What are drop cookies

These cookies are called this because they are formed by dropping spoonfuls of dough or batter onto a cookie sheet. They tend to be moister and more cake like then regular rolled out cookies.

Can I substitute the hazelnut cream?

If you don’t like store bought hazelnut cream (Nutella) you can always make your own Homemade, or you could substitute with an almond chocolate spread or even a plain chocolate spread. So instead of using chopped hazelnuts use chopped almonds or even double your chocolate chips if you or someone you know is allergic to nuts.

I used chocolate chunks in this recipe if you prefer chocolate chips work just fine too. And of course dark, milk, white or even a mixture would be yummy!

How to tell when the drop cookies are done

The cookies should be lightly golden and starting to darken around the edges when done. Be sure to let them cool before tasting.

  1. Hi Rosemary,

    Greetings from Oz. Love receiving your emails & recipes. Yesterday, I made Easy Lemon Squares. Once cooked the topping was crisp like meringue, but only on top, the middle being jammy type Is that how it should be? Today, it is sticky and as the day progresses it becomes more sticky & goey. I liked it when it was crisp, not so much now, sticky. Did I beat the topping too long or should it be that way?
